Excellent work all the way around on your project! It would look right at home on a RR layout.

Well gee Allen, I'm glad you said it was a "sale" price, like that makes all the difference in the world. That sounds awful close to the way my last Ex Wife used to phrase things....:mrgreen: I suppose they won't have to sell too many to make a profit.

Shoot, I am not all knowing in anything by any stretch of the imagination, believe me. If you have an idea or a suggestion, feel free to toss it out there. Any thread that I start is not closed to any sort of ideas, free and open discussion is the best way that I know of for folks to come up...

Congratulations on taking home some metal from a contest predominently aimed at styrene with a card model. When a card model takes home awards over entries in plastic it shows that those times are changin', for the better in my opinion.:thumb:

Yep, yep, just what he said. Arriving at a problem, checking it out, deciding what you can do and taking care of it is all part of the process of these things and you are working right on through them from my point of view.

Hi Zathros, The only difficult part of any card model is when you have to represent a rounded or domed surface. There are two ways of dealing with it and in this particular model they use both of them. Diminishing rings joined together as this nosepiece is or the "Flower Petal" method as was...

Hi All, Glad to know that ya'll are picking up a little tip here and there in my meanderings through card modeling while I have all the fun of building.;) I got started with my nose piece assembly not really knowing quite how to go about it. The other articles that I had access to didn't...

Cool! Musta got those new blades, watch the digits while you are doing all that slicing and dicing. sign1

Hi Guys, I have to agree with Rueben, while the little figure is basically a series of boxes folded up with the exception of the body, it is deceptively complicated with the number of folds and keeping everything lined up to come out square and even. I did cut out all the parts and do all...

Ah yes, Silver Oxide is in his element again. ;) :thumb: Nice to see you jumping right in to a new one. This proves to be just as interesting and informative as your Chariot thread. I'll be lurking along here in the wings enjoying the mayhem. sign1

Hi All, I was trolling about some of my favorite paper and card model sites, yes, I know, hard to believe that we find it necessary to stray from Zealot, but we do on occassion. ;) At any rate, I was over at Paper Replika and found this interesting little figure from Paper Tom (Stephane...

Hi rsebree, Nice work, I scored a few of these to try out, just haven't gotten around to them as yet. There are a number of different cars as well if you want to whip up a consist to run on the wall over a shelf. Too bad the author couldn't come up with some more well known lines, but I...

Hi Zathros, And this is for anyone who may come across this little thread, please feel free to add to it, if you have a link that is showing off some excellent details or to a publisher who has a series of books or booklets that may add to the detailing efforts that we all would like to share...

Hi Guys, It was indeed quite amazing that one little ship convinced the IJN commanders that they were facing the beginnings of a formidable fleet and breaking their formation with the sheer audacity of their attacks. Lt. Cmdr. Evans' courage and the actions of him and his crew made US Naval...

That is wa-ay cool! I really liked pop out books and crafts when I was a kid, used to drive my folks nuts with all the little scraps of paper and card laying about where ever I would settle down to get into my paper mode. I also like the "Ted" -"Ink" broadcast. Ted talks are highly...

Thanks Zathros, I got some time this afternoon after work to do a bit of sanding on the Selfridge hull. I started with my drill press and a sanding drum chucked on it to whittle away the biggest amount of balsa wood and high points on the card board filler strips. Once all that Aleenes'...

HI All, I found this section on the HNSA site on torpedo launchers as they would have been used on Fletcher Class US Navy Destroyers. It is basically the seamans' handbook on them so you know that it is pretty much the bible that they used for them. It illustrates the US Navy handling of...

Hi Strk, Photobucket is having issues for some reason and I can't get the photos to load up, I'll try later. But it is a bang up job that you have done with this one. I cheat on my railings, either photo etch or laser cut depending on who I can get my hands on, same thing for ladders.sign1

Man, that is a big model riverboat. Glad to hear that you are getting a resupply on the blades, I generally hit Michaels or Dick Blicks and snag a 100 count box when my supply gets low. Dick Blicks price is $27.19 as is Michaels, the two Office Supply places, Depot and Max goes the whole...
